# Dark Night Browser vs Night Light

The clearest difference is rating: Night Light at 4.5 against Dark Night Browser's 3.7. Night Light also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 42). Dark Night Browser's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dark Night Browser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Night Light sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Night Light holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Night Light has 1.5K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Dark Night Browser's written reviews are positive against 39% of Night Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
